It doesn't seem to hurt your ability to use a computer.

Because the Injury are not severe enough to warrant it!

The monitors were found next to a dumpster where i live, figured someone could
get some use out of them. The tape drive was useful back then as well. A
friend gave me that PS2 old but it worked perfect. Glad you are still able to
use the modem.

Now if you would quit whining and figure out a way to earn a living with your
computing skills life would be better for you!
